Last time we talked about the Five Things a Man Looks For In a Wife, and I appreciate all of you reading it, but today I will let try to let the fellas know what I believe women hold in high regard when it comes to what they look for in a husband. Now this list of things could go on and on, but I could only post five, so here we go...
A belief system - While many grow up
practicing denominations that align with Christianity, there are also
some who practice other religions or are just raised on the premise of
spirituality. Either way, a woman will want a man who shares a
similar faith or is faithful to some religion/belief system because it
will be the foundation of the family they want to build. It also ensures
that the couple is rooted in the same values and morals.
Leadership - Statistically, women pursue
college degrees more than their male peers. This may mean women may
potentially be more educated or even make more money than their spouse.
But what really makes or breaks a relationship will be the
ability for the man to respect his wife and to feel empowered to take
the lead when appropriate. No matter the distribution of education or
wealth in the relationship, his ability to take action and lead will be
an asset.
Financial stability - Women like for men who have
the ability to provide, to be a provider, not the provider. This doesn’t mean buying expensive dinners and
gifts, but at the bare minimum a man needs to be able to pay his bills,
hold down a job and have a place to live — even if that place is a
shared apartment or home. Even more so, if you are in massive debt, you
might want to work on your finances before you seriously begin dating.
Family values - Not everyone comes from the home with the white picket fence and married
parents. Even if someone comes from a broken home, it doesn’t mean they
don’t come from ‘a good family.’ What matters is that the person knows
the value of family and those relationships and works to repair them
when possible. Resolving any past mother and father issues helps men
have successful, respectful marriages and emotionally healthy children
of their own.
Romance and displays of love -
While you can certainly "learn" romance, it's great to date (and
eventually marry) a man who knows how to make a woman feel special. Even
if your love languages are different, receiving love in some form is always welcome. Can you take her away for the weekend? Can you capture her attention with stimulating conversation? The ability to do something new
and fresh when it comes to romance will inspire a woman to do the same, and ensure things won’t
get boring.
Overall, there needs to be a willingness to please your woman. What matters most is that the man is
willing to try to please his woman. Effort goes a long way if a man has other strong attributes to make him a good husband. But don't get it twisted, at some point "trying" will eventually have to turn into "accomplishing" in order to be seriously considered husband material...
